Marty Supreme’s Fatal Flaw

Marty Supreme’s Fatal Flaw

We watched Marty Supreme this weekend and I have to address something about this movie. I know it's been out for 6 months. I don't need any 'late-to-the-party' comments, though I would take that over no comments on this post, so go right ahead. First things first, the...

30 Days Sober, Then Straight to the Pub

30 Days Sober, Then Straight to the Pub

After completing 30 days of sobriety, I was ready to go on a bender. I can already feel the audible gasps and disappointments. Fortunately, although I did have some drinks, I didn't create any phone breaking, random encounter debauchery. Most nights I was in bed by 11...

What Does My Garmin Know?

What Does My Garmin Know?

I bought a Garmin watch about 2 weeks ago to use as a stop watch. I forgot that it came with features to manage sleep, steps, and identify stress levels to name a few. With no intention of using the features, it is impossible not to be curious about them. The first is...

What is “Better” and Who Am I? A Costco Follow Up

What is “Better” and Who Am I? A Costco Follow Up

My Costco post generated some buzz! I'm trying to act not-surprised. The comments are appreciated. I wanted to follow up to address two points. What do I mean when I say I'm "better" than Costco shoppers? Initially I thought this would be the central part of the...

Making Sense of a Sub 2:00 Marathon

Making Sense of a Sub 2:00 Marathon

For those living under a rock, Sabastian Sawe AND Yomif Kejelcha both broke 2 hours at the London Marathon on Sunday. The History The two hour mark is a mystical time, similar to the 4 minute mile, except that very few really thought it was doable. Geb ran 2:03:59 in...

The Slow Shift to Becoming an Early Riser

The Slow Shift to Becoming an Early Riser

For most of my 20s, I woke up whenever I felt like it. Short commute. CK4 and I played poker tournaments every night. Then, late nights in Manayunk on weekdays. I wasn't too concerned with work performance. As long as I showed up, I was being paid. (Little did I know...

How to Hit It Great and Still Shoot 90

How to Hit It Great and Still Shoot 90

91, 89, 93, 96, 89, 89, 90, 84, 87, 93. Those are my golf round scores to start '26. It appears that the high 80's to mid 90's is where I've begun the season. What's humorous to me is I'm hitting the ball to play in the 70's. My round yesterday was encouraging in one...

What a Saturday Morning at Costco Says About Society

What a Saturday Morning at Costco Says About Society

Costco on a Saturday morning forces some uncomfortable observations upon society. We went yesterday to stock up on paper towels, TP, etc. and after leaving I felt bad about myself, others, and the world. The place is mayhem. My immediate judgmental self observed:...

Brigitte Calls Me Baby

Brigitte Calls Me Baby

That's what makes it harder! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9rEZzMN0YU I'm not sure what makes it harder, but, we'll assume it's "that". Perhaps it's because these guys opened for Morrissey, and they hit that 80's sound I like so much, but it's rare I find an artist...
